EP178 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye EP178 is a sophisticated, non-recycle programmer module designed for use with the Flame-Monitor E100 and E110 burner management control systems. It provides essential start-up programming, safe-start checks, and flame monitoring supervision for industrial and commercial burners. This module is specifically engineered to work in conjunction with EDC1 and EDC2 amplifiers and is compatible with specific models of Fireye InSight and Phoenix integrated scanners. It offers high-fire purge and low-fire start proving, ensuring a safe and controlled ignition sequence.

Features

• Keypad adjustable parameters via the ED510 display module for precise control.
• Non-recycle operation mode designed for primary burner control.
• Early spark termination for the spark ignition connected to terminal 5.
• Indefinite hold on low fire start, waiting for the M-D switch to close before proceeding to pilot trial for ignition.
• Integrated RJ45 connector for display modules and dual RJ12 connectors for Modbus communications.
• Internal memory stores burner cycles, operating hours, and a detailed lockout history.
• Check-Run switch to manually stop the control sequence for system set-up and troubleshooting.
